Hands Up

Daye Jack tackles police brutality in "Hands Up" feat. Killer Mike.

Daye Jack turned a soccer scholarship at Dartmouth to pursue music and computer science at NYU. Clearly, we have a renaissance man in our midst.

Following up his Soul Glitch release this summer, Daye Jack recruits rapper-cum-activist Killer Mike for a diatribe against police brutality called "Hands Up." “Living with my head down, hands up," Jack croons, "No, no, don’t shoot/No, no, don’t shoot." It has a decidedly different feel from Vince Staples' "Hands Up," a banger from hell that urged the crowd to put their hands in their air a la a soon-to-be victim of police violence.

Watch out for Daye Jack's debut album dropping in 2016.
